Permaculture

Permaculture is an abbreviation of 'permanent culture'. It is primarily about thinking in general - and designing our everyday lives, communities, companies, and large systems to consider both human and nature's needs.

​

In the subject, we are working on applying Permaculture thinking in our own everyday lives - and use it as a tool to create our shared green future. You get a broad theoretical introduction to Permaculture as a design tool, and we look at lots of practical examples - such as the højskole's own demonstration garden, new forest garden, social permaculture and more. We also visit Friland eco-village to see sustainable construction, ecosystems, and local renewable energy solutions.

​

If you follow the Permaculture course for five months, you can earn a 'Permaculture Design Certificate'. You can use this to find worldwide volunteer jobs, to start a business, to obtain a Permaculture Diploma, or to become an informed citizen.
